Write, Sleep, Blog
On March 28, an anonymous senior -- fittingly anonymous, I should add, because in a way, he is every senior -- set out to write a thesis. His page count was zero, but his hopes were high: "This is gonna be an adventure!" he exclaimed. His deadline? Wednesday, April 7.Thesis Pieces is his story. And I promise you -- it's the second best blog you'll read all day.We follow the writer from mundanity ("Can't write because my pen died. Page count: 0/100") to insanity ("I figured out a way to solve all my thesis woes! All I need to do is figure out a way to send a cyborg killing machine back in time!"). We laugh when he laughs, we cry when he cries. We don't, however, sleep when he sleeps: "I slept two hours last… sleeping time," he confesses. "On a bench in Firestone." But from our comparatively well-rested perch we urge our hero onwards, willing him the strength to vanquish that greatest enemy of all: the ever-ticking clock.
